A Jewish restaurant in the Netherlands was attacked this morning by a man carrying a Palestinian flag. The man smashed five windows and entered the Amsterdam restaurant before the police arrested him.

According to Dutch media the man shouted “Allah Akbar!” and “Palestine!” during the assault. Daniel Baron, one of the owners of the Jewish restaurant says that “this is very shocking, it hurts”. Baron adds that the smashing of the windows and the man entering his restaurant is a form of “fear mongering”.

The Dutch Center of Israeli Information and Documentation (CIDI) calls the incident “shocking and scandalous”. Dutch VVD politician Marianne Poot said she will ask questions about the incident in the city council. She calls the incident “very disturbing” and wants to know from the mayor what is known about the perpetrator and if other Jewish buildings in Amsterdam have been alerted.

The attack on the Jewish restaurant in Amsterdam comes one day after United States president Trump formally recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Later the Czech Republic followed that decision.
